NOTES
The body and sleeves are worked in the round from the bottom up to the yoke, then the pieces are joined for working the raglan yoke. During the yoke shaping, if there are not enough stitches to work a complete cable, work the stitches as they appear (knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches).
The neck is shaped using the short rows. When working in rows, read odd- numbered chart rows from right to left and even-numbered rows from left to right. Choose the size with 6-10” of positive ease.
